A messaging method and system sends secure emails (14) by the email originator (10) removing the portion of the email (14) which is confidential (24) from the body of the email (14). The removed portion (24) is sent to a secure storage site (30). The residue (20) of the email (14) is sent to the intended recipient (12), together with a notification (22) that the confidential portion (24) is at the secure site (30). Secure storage site 30 then sends a SMS text message (38) to the recipient's mobile phone (44) which has an authentication code (38) which the recipient (12) uses to establish identity and retrieve the confidential portion (24) of the email message (14) from the secure store (30). The secure store (30) emails the originator with notification (60) when the recipient (12) retrieves the secure portion (24) of the email message (14). |
